Li He held the teapot and leaned against the wall as well. He said with a smile, "If he didn't have a plan, how could he have been in power for 40 years in Li Village?"
Most people could guess that the Chu family would come, and they could probably predict that He Manjun's mother would come to ask for help in the name of outsiders bullying the people of Li Village, but not many people could hide as well as Liu Chuanqi.
At least Xi Tongcai and the others couldn't run away. At this moment, He Manjun's mother blocked the door, and the first and second leaders couldn't find them. Xi Tongcai could only bite the bullet and go to see.
Li He and the others were about to turn back to see Xi Tongcai make a fool of himself, but Sang Yongbo ran over and shouted, "They beat him, they beat him."
Fatty Chen said, "He Manjun can only be beaten. What else can he do?"
"He lost two teeth, and his face is so swollen that he can't see his eyes," Sang Yongbo said truthfully.
"I said I guessed right." Fatty Chen was proud of his judgment. "Whoever stands up for the He family is a fool."
"No, I mean Zhao Di brought people to fight with Chu Xiurong," Sang Yongbo explained.
Li He was stunned and immediately said in a bad mood, "Can you finish it in one sentence? Why would Zhao Di fight with Chu Xiurong?"
Last night, she had advised him not to interfere in other people's affairs. How could she get involved now?
Fatty Chen said, "He Manjun is her cousin after all. If his mother really comes to find him, he definitely can't refuse. After all, they are both surnamed He."
Sang Yongbo said, "Yes, yes, what should we do? Help or not?"
Li Hui slapped him angrily. "How can we not help?"
He drove a big truck, and half of the work of hauling gravel and oil was given to him by Zhao Di. Needless to say, they were friends. He was about to persuade the people next to him to go with him, but unexpectedly, Li He, Fatty Chen, and the others had already taken the lead and ran in the direction of He Manjun's house. Even Sang Yongbo followed behind and didn't finish listening to him.
He could only hurry to catch up.
"You two don't follow us. Hurry up and split up to call for people. Bring those who can fight." Li He saw the two of them following him, so he ran and instructed them.
Sang Yongbo said, "There's no need to shout. They're all stupidly standing in the He family's wheat field."
The wheat field in front of He Manjun's three-room mud-brick house was crowded with people. There were mainly three groups of people. One group was purely here to watch the fun. They were neither related nor old friends to the He family. The other group was the He family. He Zhaodi had brought her driver, boatman, and seven or eight other people to brace themselves to come. Some of them were from the village, and some were from other villages. The other group was the Chu family. Led by Chu Xiurong, there were fifteen or sixteen people. There were men and women, and they carried shovels, shovels, and forks. They looked like they were not going to give up.
Li He slowed down when he arrived. He felt relieved when he saw He Manjun covering his bloody and swollen face.
Old Grandma wanted to stop him when she saw that he was going to the He family, but Li Fucheng stopped her.
"Don't worry about him. This is a man's business."
Old Grandma rolled her eyes and said, "You only know how to be a good person."
However, he still listened to his wife.
"Chu family's eldest son, your father and I were repairing the river embankment together last autumn. We ate in the same pot. Sigh, look at you now. You've already beaten and scolded this person, we admit it. After all, we were the ones in the wrong. If you continue to do this, you're going to kill someone. "The one who spoke was He Laoxi. He was the oldest member of the He Clan, so he had to step out and speak.
His wife, Zhao Chunfang, jumped and scolded him. She didn't let him come. They and He Weibao had separated a long time ago. After their parents passed away, they lived their own lives. What did it have to do with them?
He was afraid of his wife, and he agreed with her. In fact, he shouldn't have come. But he had to come, even if he didn't want to, even if he didn't want to. He only had two brothers. His younger brother, He Weibao, was strangled, slapped, and kicked because he defended He Manjun. His face was definitely not good.
Although he rarely cared about face and didn't care about small details related to himself, this kind of thing related to the honor and dignity of the family must be fought for. He couldn't give in anymore. Sometimes, it had nothing to do with right or wrong.
What's more, his parents died early. His brother was raised by him alone. He raised him like a son. He never moved a finger!
Now that he was treated like this, he couldn't stand it no matter how good his temper was!
"Damn, I want to kill him! If you have the ability, you can kill me too! "Chu Xiurong looked fierce.
"Chu Xiurong, watch your mouth. My life is valuable. It's not worth it to exchange it for your life." Zhao Di, who had been silent with her hands in her jeans pockets, suddenly spoke up. She pulled He Manjun toward her and pushed him toward Chu Xiurong. "Come on, everyone is here anyway. If you have the guts, why don't you just kill one of them today? Let's see how you do it. Open our eyes!" Zhao Di said shamelessly. "Come on. What's the use of just talking? If you don't kill him, you're a coward! "
He Manjun didn't notice that Zhao Di suddenly pulled him. He staggered and fell to the ground. Seeing Chu Xiurong's fierce face, he was so scared that he hurriedly stood up and wanted to run.
"If you dare to move, don't call me sister." He Zhaodi said coldly, "It's a life for a life. If he kills you, he can't run away."
He Manjun's mother wanted to run over to protect her son and scold He Zhaodi, but He Weibao forcibly held her in his arms. She could only cry bitterly, "You stinking bitch, you have no conscience! You're helping an outsider! "
Although Zhao Di was angry, she didn't say anything.
But his mother, Zhao Chunfang, was not a kind person. She hit He Manjun's mother. "Who are you scolding? Who are you scolding? You old bitch."
The situation was even more chaotic. The two women pulled their hair and clothes, but they couldn't pull them apart.
Seeing this situation, He Manjun hesitated whether to escape or not. But he found that the eldest son of the Li Family was blowing smoke rings on his left side. When he was about to dodge to the right, he found that he was blocked by Fatty Chen.
There were people all around him. He had no place to go. He could only squat on the ground with his head in his hands. Whatever, he had no choice.
"Xiurong, that's enough." Liu Four had been watching the scene and hadn't said anything until now. His friendship with He Laoxi hadn't reached the point of helping him fight. The He Family's affairs were far away from him and had little to do with him.
Now he was willing to come out and give both sides a way out, mainly because Li He, Fatty Chen, and the others had come to stand up for them. They were a team. A fence had three stakes, and a good man had three helpers.
Li He was not familiar with Chu Xiurong, so he had to speak.
"You want to fight with me too?" Chu Xiurong's face twitched. In fact, he was relieved. He Zhaodi, that woman, was cutting people against him. He was almost embarrassed!
If it was a group fight, it was really possible that both sides would fight with all their might and there would be casualties!
But in this case, he was not stupid!
How could he really kill people to vent his anger!
If he didn't cut people, right?
It was embarrassing and he didn't have the guts!
Would he, Boss Chu, still want his reputation?
"You don't know him, right?" Fatty Chen put his arm around Chu Xiurong's shoulder, pointed to Li He, and whispered, "This is Li Long's brother. Let's go. It won't look good if you make a fuss. Anyway, you've vented your anger. It'll be boring if you don't let it go. If you give me some face, we can still meet in the future. "
"Oh, it's you. I've heard of you. I heard that you're doing well." Chu Xiurong looked at Li He and understood in his heart that even in the face of Liu Four, Fatty Chen, and the others, he wouldn't be able to get away with it, let alone the two brothers of Li He's family.
"You're just average. Give me a cigarette." Li He didn't want to interrupt. He just threw a cigarette and walked around.
Seeing Chu Xiurong take the cigarette, He Laoxi also knew that the matter could be eased, so he asked, "Boss Chu, this is a conflict between a young couple. Which family doesn't have conflicts? Let them solve it themselves. We don't have to ask. However, this child Manjun is indeed in the wrong. If you have any requests, just tell him and make him change. If he really can't change, then you can settle the score with him. "
He believed that after this incident, He Manjun would definitely remember and wouldn't be as unscrupulous as before.
"Bump, bump, bump?" Chu Xiurong asked in return, "Laoxi, you have four daughters, right? If your daughters are pressed against the wall in the future, you won't interfere, right?"
He Laoxi was at a loss for words. He Manjun sometimes hit Chu Xiuhong too hard. Not to mention Chu Xiurong, even He Laoxi himself couldn't stand it.
"Sigh, it's impossible to kill him. What do you think we should do?"
Chu Xiurong said, "My sister will stay at home."
"Sigh, okay. Xiuhong will rest well. I'll let Manjun sober up at home. When he thinks things through, he will go to your house to apologize and bring her back." He Laoxi heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Xiurong lit the cigarette and said, "Bring her back? Laoxi, what are you thinking? How can you live like this? They are here. In the future, our two families will have nothing to do with each other. "
"Ah? This? "He Laoxi was startled.
"The two of them have been together for a year. They are already halfway through their marriage. How can there be anything suitable in the future?" He Weibao was angry and anxious. He had no choice but to say this. "You can be angry, but you can't say such things out of anger."
He knew very well what kind of a person his son was. If his wife ran away, how could he find her in the future?
He would accept it if he had a grandson, but the problem was that he had nothing!
"If you're not angry! If you're serious. " A woman beside Chu Xiurong said, "He Weibao, you don't feel bad for not being your daughter, right? You make it sound nice, but your son has changed. He's still like this. Our daughter doesn't have to worry about marriage! "
He Manjun's mother suddenly rushed over and roared, "My family spent 200 yuan! Including the time before and after the banquet, it's 300 yuan! "
When she said this, the people around her who had sympathy for her family turned to disgust.
People needed face and trees needed bark. Even if they were unreasonable, there should be a limit!
He Zhaodi closed her eyes and shook her head with a bitter smile. She was helpless against such outrageous relatives.
"Do you really have to argue with my family? Just tell me if your son can take a beating or not! "Chu Xiurong was even angrier. He was not going to spoil her.
"Aiyah, there's no law in this world!" He Manjun's mother cried her heart out.
"Manjun, don't play dead. Say something." He Zhaodi was in no mood to argue. She pulled He Manjun up. "Say something."
"What can I do?" He Manjun tacitly agreed.
"Then let's do it." The Chu family's attitude was firm. He Weibao had no other choice.
"At least you know what's good for you." After Chu Xiurong made his threat, he casually said a few words to Liu Four and the others before leaving with the Chu family's people.
The large circle of people dispersed. It was early in the morning, but the pigs had not been fed, and the geese and cows had not been released. All they cared about was watching the commotion.
He Zhaodi let out a long sigh and took out a stack of money from her pocket. She didn't count it and handed it to He Manjun under the dissatisfied gaze of her mother, Zhao Chunfang. "Go to the hospital and have a look. Stop messing around."
Then she glanced at Li He and said to Hunchback Wu, who was beside her, "Uncle, don't work today."
Then she turned around and said to Fatty Chen, Li Hui, and the others, "Don't leave at noon. Let's go to a restaurant at the bridgehead. I'll drink with you."
Although the matter was caused by He Weibao's family, she owed them a favor, so she had to return it.
No one was polite. At noon, the restaurant at the bridgehead opened three tables. The people who stood up for the He family not only got a free meal, but also got two packets of Puwan.
